Char's POV
Finally. Some alone time.
I didn't mind the fact the it was drizzling out side I found it refreshing.
Inside I could see the look on Hattie's face, she was probably looking for me now, I thought. I laughed to myself, no; she's probably in the food line.
As I kept walking, I saw a women get up and run to one of the groves of trees. Curious to see who she was and why she was outside, I ran after her.
After I ran into the grove of trees, I began to look around; maybe she was embarrassed to be seen outside, instead of inside fawning over me. When I realized that she was nowhere in sight, I started to turn back. Then I felt something hit my head, I looked to see what it was, and realized it was a glass slipper. I took the shoe, and started walking back toward the castle. Maybe I could use this to bait her out.
A few minutes later, like I expected, she came down.

Ella's POV
------------------------------------------------
I can't believe someone would steel my shoe! I started to run, how rude!
Right as I left the grove of trees, my protection, I ran right into the thief, from behind, I couldn't tell who it was, but by the looks of things, he was surprised. I took my shoe from him and planned to slapped him clean across his face, but to my surprise, he held my hand and said sorry for taking my shoe. This surprised me.
What was I suppose to do? Before I could make up my mind on what to say, he surprised me by saying the dress was becoming, even if it was wet. I looked down at my dress. It was soaked, through and through. I laughed at this, who is this man that thinks dirt is beautiful … how charming.
I heard the music inside, not sure what was going to happen, I took a step and swept into the dance. The man stepped in on a turn, as if he had years of experience. We moved gracefully together, as if the music was flowing through us and around us. We bent, swept, dipped and turned together on the right spots.
After the dance was finished, I fell to the ground, exhausted. He looked at me funny and laid down next to me, then, he grabbed my hand and kissed it.
